Anxiety
According to the model that is emerging from research literature, prolonged "immunologic stress" may be a risk factor for OCD. That is, immunologic stress may compromise the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and permit the influx of antineuronal antibodies into the central nervous system (CNS).
Pediatric OCD and Tourette's syndrome (TS) patients exhibit a high incidence of recurrent infections, asthma, allergy, and gastrointestinal tract disease. Based on this clinical observation, they screened OCD/TS patients for immunodeficiency disorders and found that approximately 10 percent of OCD/TS subjects demonstrated selective immunoglobin A deficiency (IgA-D). The incidence of IgA-D in the general population is approximately 1 in 600.
Stress increases the activity of mast cells in your body, cells that communicate signals throughout your nervous system and can cause increased anxiety. This is why mice bred without mast cells have no fear. A study published in the "Journal of Medicinal Food" in 2008 found that a dose of quercetin equal to 1,500 to 3,000 mg per day for a 150-pound adult decreased both mast cell activity and levels of anxiety in rats. Additionally, scientists at the University of Saskatchewan in Canada published a study in "Spinal Cord" in 2010 that 50 percent of rats with spinal injuries given twice-daily quercetin injections recovered sufficient motor function to walk.

"... it looks as though the immune system is somehow involved in the development of mood disorders,” said researcher Michael Eriksen Benrós, M.D., Ph.D., of Aarhus University and Psychiatric Centre Copenhagen. http://psychcentral.com/news/2013/06/18/infections-linked-to-mood-disorders-like-depression-bipolar/56195.html the study
http://phys.org/news/2011-01-obsessive-compulsive-disorder-ocd.htmlI new test for OCD -- identified gene mutations that impair kidney function leading to a rare kidney disorder known as dicarboxylic aminoaciduria (DA). The same gene, which is also crucial for normal brain function, has been connected with obsessive compulsive-disorder (OCD). "People with DA can be identified through a simple urine test that detects high levels of glutamate and aspartate. This simple, non-invasive test is used regularly for screening newborns for other serious genetic disorders. If this idea is confirmed in clinical trials, a simple urine test might be used to screen young children with a family history of OCD to identify anyone who may be at risk of early onset OCD."
